A GALLANT B0OTBLACK.

A Boylston street bootblack was
considerably sstonished one day last
week by a fashionably-attired and
shapely young woman who requested
him to give her boots a shine. Her
foot coverings showed the results of a
tramp through the muddy streets, for
which Boston is rapidly becoming
famous. The boot polisher gazed at
her in -comical confusion Such
customer was aRnovelty to him, and he
was unprepared to deal with her. He
had piled his industry upon countless
be-feet, but pair of feet belonging to
the gentler sex had never before
submitted themselves 10 his brush
Before he found time to recover from
the surprise into which he was
thrown by so unusual a patron,
she repeated her request with some
little Impotence in the manner, where

upon it small and pretty foot at which
be gazed with astonlshment, and then
be at once proceeded to scrub the mud
from it, but with gentleness accom-

fact, he almost caressed it With mis-
brush. Presently passers began to

Blackley, with a passing glance at the
small feet. 1t was probably the first
compliment he had ever paid in his
life, and it was not without a certain
rude grace in the bestowing. I think
it merited a recognition In kind. Per-
hsps the young woman may have been
embarrassed at the strange position in
which she found herself before such
gsllsntry from such "a source, and was
unequal to the occasion. Be that as it
may, she flung him quarter and

crowd laughed at Blackey, but he

he was right.-Boston Gazette.
